PER CURIAM:

       Jose Orangel Saravia-Chavez appeals his conviction for unlawful reentry by a

deported alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) (2018). Saravia-Chavez argues that the

removal order pursuant to which he was previously deported was invalid because the

charging notice to appear did not indicate the time and date for his hearing. Saravia-Chavez

thus posits that, because the immigration court was without the authority to remove him,

his 2011 removal cannot serve as the basis for the underlying prosecution. As Saravia-

Chavez concedes, though, this argument is foreclosed by our contrary ruling in United

States v. Cortez, 

(4th Cir. 2019).

       Accordingly, we affirm the criminal judgment. We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this

court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                                AFFIRMED
